SAFETY-RAZOR.

To all whom it may c0nce1"n.' Be it known that I, GERHARD TITTMANN, a citizen of Germany, and resident of Foche, near Solingen, Germany, have invented new and useful Improvements in Safety-Razors, of which the following is a specification.-

This invention relates to a safety razor in which is tilted with its loweredge agalnst the lower end of the blade. In this way the blade is securely clamped in positioinwhile the guard may be entirely exposed if the razor is to be cleaned. In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a side View, partly in section, of my improved safety razor; Fig. 2 a side view showing the clamp plate detached; Fig. -3 a rear view of the razor-head with the screw stud in section; Figs. 4, 5 and 6 are side views of modifications; Fig. 7 an enlarged-side view of the modification shown in Fig. 6, and Fig. 8 a longitudinal section thereof. In Figs. 1, 2 and 3 the handle 9, of th razor is provided at its forward end with a threaded stem a, that is. ta ped into the eye. of a perforated or toothed guard c. Fromguard c, extend late-rally'below the eye, a pair of opposed projections orstuds 7c, each this way clamp plate e, may be oscillated on studs 7c, to vary its inclination to the guard, while furthermore the clamp plate may be removed and the guard thereby become fully exposed for -cleaning purposes. The cutting blade m, introduced between guard c, and plate e, projects-with its lower cutting edge sli-htly beyond the lower edge of plate e. By tilting this plate with such lower edge against the lower end of the blade, the latter, is thus securely clamped in position. The function of tilting plate e, is performedbythe screw stem 0, which; passes through guard c, l

and bears withend against the heel or upper end of plate e. In this way such upper end is pushed away from plate 0, to corre-. ,spondingly force its lower edge with adjust able pressure against the lower end of blade m.

In Fig: 4, the .above construction for swinging and removably oonnectingplate e,

to guard c, is reversed. In this modification clamp plate e; is provided with opposed lat- 'eral studs 70, while guard 0', 1s provided with plate. 2;, and the studs 1c, are formed on the guard, similar to. the construction shown 1n Figs. -13,

additional set screw a, that is tapped into Q guards, and bears against the heel of plate e.

he lateral slots 'i, of plate e, are provided with u per recesses or notches, into which studs enter when screw a, istightened against clamp plate e, so-that the latter'is prevented from slipping off guard c.

' in Flgs. 6, 7 'and 8, there is fulcrulioed to 'thetop of guard c, atci, a cam 21*, which is adapted to bear against the heel of plate 6,-

and'thus force the latter, with its lower edge, against blade m.

I claim:

A safety razor provided with a guard, a clamp plate, laterally extending fulcrums on' .oneiof said parts, slotted wings on the other part removably engaged by said fulcrurns, a perforation in the guard above the fulcrums, and tilting means passing through said perforation and. adapted to engage the clamp plate, substantially as described.
